Just Set Up New Tank - Placo Had Babies

[papini1124]

Hello,
I just set up my aquarium last week. I have a 15 gallon tank with a heater and aqua filter.
I had 6 fish. 1 angel, 2 neon, 1 placo and 2 guaramies.
The Ph is 6.8.
The ammonia is 0 ppm and nitrate is .5.
I keep the heater at 74 - 76 degrees.

The Placo the fishstore sold me was pregant and now i see 6 or 7 babies.
How often do I change the water?
Should I try to remove the babies?

Thanks
Joe

Did you do a fishless cycle as the tanks cycled fast if not.
Do you have a nitrite reading.
Are they neon tetra's as the angels tend to eat them in the wild.
You could move the babies if you have another tank, if not leave them in and keep an eye on water quality.

You would be better off posting this thread in the plec section of the forum.
Congrats on the llittle ones.
